Had a great time hosting our 14th annual Super Bowl party. Had a house filled with friends, family, food and of course, yummy beverages! Make-It-or-Take-It was a big hit~as always (even with the wind)! Had some suggestions for improving the game. Next year, expect yard lines and some new rules regarding distance!

Unfortunately, the water heater (that is only 5 years old) broke that night and we are still waiting for parts to repair it. Took the day off under the guise of "waiting for parts delivery" but really, I just needed some time to myself! Yes, Jakey and I are playing "hooky" and just relaxing. We both slept in...which in our house really only means that we both got up at 8:00. Not so much "sleeping in" but better than our usual 6:00 am wake time!

Alyssa is doing well. Of course, how could she not be? If I were in London I imagine I would be having the time of my life as well! Anyone who is interested can check out her blog...link on this page. I absolutely love checking out her messages and pictures. She is hoping to change majors to photography...I hope you agree when you see her pics that she is a natural!

Love to all!
